Disappointed. It's hype - at the finest. For review context I have also been to the location in Irvine. I ended up trying this location because I was thirsty and nothing else was open yet at Universal City Plaza. Let's jump right into this review.
Hello Kitty Cafe is an abundance of cuteness. Adorable. Festive. And IG worthy pics.
What did we have - Tuxedosam Lemonade $8 + tax - Blue Raspberry Lemonade with pink sugar rim and lemon pinwheel
My Melody Lemonade $8 + tax - Strawberry Lemonade with yellow sugar rim and lemon pinwheel
Pros Cute pics. Food is asethically pleasing to look at.
Cons Prices are high. Period. It's the name and location. $8 for a drink is unbelievable.
The drinks are extremely sweet. To sweet for me and my son. We immediately noted the sweetness in both drinks. This could be a personal palette thing BUT the sugar level in the drinks is high making them impossible to consume.
I don't see myself returning to this location due to cost and sweetness level in the drinks. After attempting to drink our lemonades - it just wasn't doable. The sugar level made me more thirsty #bummer. If you are looking for those picturesque moments, this is your spot. Abundance of cuteness just not edible. You decide if the picture/post is...
Read moreFirst of all this is just an example of what I experienced while visiting the cafe. My daughter had seen this place in YouTube, so after coming to LA to celebrate her birthday she was exited to visit the place. First, just remember it is located in universal city walk, make sure you try to get in as early as possible as it get busy and parking can be challenging to find. However, once you age gotten settle and ready, the place will not disappoint. Just remember that it is a cafe, they will have a or of drinks that will make it worth the visit. Also the pastries resemble all the glamour of Hello Kitty. Now for the parent just remember, it is small and the seating is limited. I did not see long lines, but maybe I was lucky. The Hello Kitty store is located right next to the cafe which makes it easy to visit once you are done. The store is small but you will find plenty of Hello Kitty stuff to buy. Parent, as long as you don’t mind the traffic and the cost of the parking which is $35, your kids will love the place and the sugar rush they will get once they are done with all their sweets. Hope this helps, as for me I hope I can see you...
Read moreMy wife wanted to come here and try this place so I of course took her tonight on a Friday. At first the line looked busy but when you get closer, you'll see that there a line for a store next to it and another line for the Hello Kitty and Friends Cafe. The line wasnt long so we got in it and I was looking at their menu. I read other people review and they said the churros is not good. So I went with the Hello Kitty cookie and my wife got the Hello Kitty Strawberry Green Iced Tea because the worker said it's less sweet. They give us a pager to where it would vibrate when our order was ready. We found a table near the pickup area and sat there. The moment we sat down, the pager started vibrating and I went to pick up our order. My wife likes the Green Iced Tea but since they put sugar around the lip, your hands will get sticky. The cookie was fine as well so I would recommend getting that and even though is pricey, keep in mind that this...
